"        Nic Pizzolatto&amp;#039;s True Detective is not known for its police work. The show follows cops as they combat personal problems, discover their quirks in aimless car rides, and soldier through existential gloom. If they can interrogate a potential suspect along the way, great. If not, they&amp;#039;ll probably run into them by accident and wrap everything up in an epic shootout, so why try so hard? This is why we never see the cops on Law &amp;amp;amp; Order with their kids. They work too much. With sparse, action-first investigations, True Detective revives a 1970s cop drama spirit, the days of T.J. Hooker sliding across car hoods and Kojak sucking down lollipops. After last night&amp;#039;s explosive episode, the savvy editors at Vulture saw the perfect opportunity to finally transform the show into the throwback it&amp;#039;s dying to be. The re-edit above has the funk, baby. And very little police work. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
